不良的童年经历与成年后的负面结果有关，包括性侵犯。采用横断面设计，我们从社区招募了250名女性，调查了自我报告的不良童年经历是否与强迫性行为的实施有关。此外，我们还研究了性化应对是否介导了童年经历与性胁迫之间的潜在关系。斯皮尔曼等级相关显示不良童年经历与性胁迫之间没有关系。然而，不良的童年经历与性化应对显著相关，而性化应对又与性胁迫相关。此外，不良童年经历通过性化应对对性胁迫有显著但很小的间接影响。研究结果可能有助于研究人员更好地理解女性童年经历、性应对和性胁迫之间的因果关系。
Adverse childhood experiences have been associated with negative outcomes in adulthood, including sexual offending. Using a cross-sectional design, we investigated whether self-reported adverse childhood experiences related to the perpetration of coercive sexual acts among 250 females recruited from the community. Furthermore, we examined whether sexualised coping mediated any potential relationship between childhood experiences and sexual coercion. A Spearman's rank order correlation revealed no relationship between adverse childhood experiences and sexual coercion. However, adverse childhood experiences were significantly correlated with sexualised coping, which in turn was correlated with sexual coercion. Additionally, there was a significant but small indirect effect of adverse childhood experiences on sexual coercion through sexualised coping. Findings may help researchers to better understand the causal relationship between childhood experiences, sexual coping, and sexual coercion in females.
